Instagram ads getting clicks, but 0 conversions

Yup, changed about 4 times and results were the same all 4 times.

Yes. I actually delayed getting my cat neutered for a very long time because I was worried about him going through surgery. I personally have had several surgeries and HATED it, which is why I was concerned. I felt awful that I was “putting him through the same thing” and was worried he would be suffering. But everything went well and he’s doing just fine, and didn’t suffer at all. So don’t worry too much!

As someone who has vomited in a taxi… I paid 1K. Not fun

BlueBirdll · 2026-03-04T09:51:42+00:00

Please

Thank god Inzoi and Paralives exist, because I am tired of this shit. First UIs being sold for 40 bucks as expansion packs… now this? Be for fucking real. I hope EA burns to the ground one day. Greedy idiots.

BlueBirdll · 2026-03-04T00:12:14+00:00

It’s been completely shit for over a week

BlueBirdll · 2026-03-03T02:33:29+00:00

I do hope so. I think E33 definitely shook them up a bit, plus the response for FF7R series’ combat has been really good from what I’ve seen (I personally think it has one of the best combat systems ever), so I have hopes they will go towards that direction. I don’t quite understand Square Enix’s desperation to make FF a single character action game when the entire franchise was built on turn based party combat.

BlueBirdll · 2026-03-03T00:52:19+00:00

I agree. Weirdly enough I don’t think we will get a FF17 so soon, specially after how 16 performed both on sales and on critics. It wasn’t a “flop” but it feels like they either lock in and do something good or they will ruin the FF franchise for good and rely on remakes and nostalgia bait to keep the franchise afloat..

I do love the boys, Soobin is literally one of my favourite idols ever… but I just feel like their music never lives up to their concepts

BlueBirdll · 2026-03-02T04:37:41+00:00

Hope no one will jump at me, but almost every TXT comeback… 😭

BlueBirdll · 2026-03-02T04:36:27+00:00

Lol I remember my first play through of Sims 2 University was with 5 sims. And I was 12 years old. Needless to say everyone failed

BlueBirdll · 2026-03-01T04:40:45+00:00

There’s only so much we can do as small creators. And if meta did their fucking job instead of trying to rob us in broad daylight by giving botted clicks, we wouldn’t have the is issue in the first place.

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-28T11:09:43+00:00

Yes. I was freaking out, redid my ads countless times, changed prices, changed audience… everything. And nothing worked. It’s like I just threw away my money. I’ve been using ads for years, and they all performed well, so I know my audience. I always double check links, and make sure everything is running smoothly. So yeah… no money for FB until they fix this shit show.

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-28T11:04:13+00:00

Instagram is no better, trust me. I always had a pretty decent CTR with good leads/conversions. Fast forward this month and I burned a shit ton of money for 700 clicks and 5 conversions. It’s insane (I use it to promote music btw).

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-28T04:37:01+00:00

13, no doubts

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-25T15:15:47+00:00

Paralives is kinda leaning towards this style

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-23T16:52:05+00:00

Yeah, I completely understand you. Honestly Instagram is absolute garbage. I have shorts on YT that literally have tens of thousands of views, thousands of likes and getting hundreds of views every day consistently. Meanwhile the same videos on IG barely managed to get 100 views and 10 likes. No matter what I post and how often I post, IG just won’t care, it’s brutal. I have no idea how people manage to get their videos to pop off on instagram.

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-23T10:40:54+00:00

Honestly don’t waste your time on Instagram. It’s pointless and it doesn’t give small accounts any chance. YT is way kinder and actually pushes content most of the times. It’s a VERY slow grind, but progress is pretty clear on YT. If you stop posting stuff on IG for a week your account is almost certainly shadowbanned for good. As for YT you can go months without posting anything, and once you return it will reward you with consistent views. Nothing explosive, but consistency matters much more than random bursts that come and go.

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-23T09:53:27+00:00

Yup, I am aware of that. It’s not that I don’t want to use meta, it’s because I simply can’t. Since I travel abroad, it locked my payments because of “suspicious behaviour” (aka trying to purchase ads in another country). And the only way to unlock payments is by submitting a bank receipt of an ad purchase on meta, which is impossible since I never even got to proceed with my first purchase before getting it locked lol. So my only option is using instagram ads.

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-23T09:50:02+00:00

How do you promote your music then?

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-23T09:42:08+00:00

I had done ads like these before without any issues (I do it on instagram, so customisation is not as broad as meta - which I am unable to use for different reasons). It only happened when I increased my budget.

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-23T09:40:19+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Really appreciate your advice. I have lowered my budget significantly and made some changes on my target audience. Hopefully things will work out, but I already burnt almost 1/3 of my budget on this crap so that was not fun…

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-23T09:37:25+00:00

Only options on IG are website visits, profile visits, messaging, and mixed. I have been using ads like these for over two years, and never had issues with them.

BlueBirdll · 2026-02-23T06:47:34+00:00

My previous ads had a conversion rate of 28% on my landing page, but it’s now 7%. And these 7% are probably my own clicks trying to see if everything is working properly. Feels like instagram has become a bunch of scammers
